abstract ontology s as a freestanding and distinct discipline came to be by aristotle’s metaphysics. in greco-arabic translation movement, metaphysics was one of the most important works to be translated. different translations were made from many parts of it, but many of them are not extant. however, we now do have a translation of the most of the parts of metaphysics. this translation survive...

1. introduction in recent years, thanks to efforts made by such scholars as maria tymoczko, translation studies has started a movement towards reacting to euro-centrism in the discipline. the movement stresses the necessity for internationalization of translation theory and the significance of taking into account translation traditions all over the world. the authors of the present paper do bel...

The Cambridge University Engineering Department phrasebased statistical machine translation system follows a generative model of translation and is implemented by the composition of component models of translation and movement realised as Weighted Finite State Transducers. Our flexible architecture requires no special purpose decoder and readily handles the large-scale natural language processi...

English translations of texts associated with Arabic fiction remain largely unexplored from a sociological perspective. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology, this paper aims to examine the genesis of Arabic fiction translation into English as a socially situated activity. Works of Arabic fiction emerged in English translation in the early twentieth century. Since then, this intellectual field...

Ḥunayn ibn Isḥāq's Arabic translation of Galen's commentary on the Hippocratic Epidemics is an invaluable source for our knowledge of Galenic medicine and its transmission history, not least because much of it is extant only in Arabic. Its importance for the Arabic medical tradition is amply attested in the later medical literature. It also tells us much about the methods and self-image of cont...

This paper provides a novel model for English/Arabic Query Translation to search Arabic text, and then expands the Arabic query to handle Arabic OCR-Degraded Text. This includes detection and translation of word collocations, translating single words, transliterating names, and disambiguating translation and transliteration through different approaches. It also expands the query with the expect...

We describe stochastic models of local phrase movement that can be incorporated into a Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) system. These models provide properly formulated, non-deficient, probability distributions over reordered phrase sequences. They are implemented by Weighted Finite State Transducers. We describe EM-style parameter re-estimation procedures based on phrase alignment under t...

Arabic machine translation has been taking place in machine translation projects in recent years. This study concentrates on the translation of Arabic text to its equivalent in Malay language. The problem of this research is the syntactic and morphological differences between Arabic and Malay adjective sentences. The main aim of this study is to design and develop Arabic-Malay machine translati...

The most important reference work for pharmacology in the Islamic Era is Materia Medica by Dioscorides, the Greek scientist. It’s also named fi-hayuli-al-Tibb in the Islamic era. There are several different translation of this book in Arabic and Persian. In this article I’m going to introduce a manuscript of one the Arabic translation of this book which hasn’t been mentioned in any bibliographi...
